How to Report Revolving Lines of Credit (Extended)

10/01/2017

I am trying to obtain a good definition and/or guidance on how to report Revolving Lines of Credit that have been extended and not renewed for a particular year. Example – A customer has a revolving line of credit for $250,000 that originally was executed in November 2014 and is up for renewal in November 2015, however the borrower has asked for a 3-month extension which the bank granted, the amount and conditions are unchanged. For 2015 reporting, can we/should we be reporting/treating the $250,000 as a renewal/extension that took place in 2015? Or not report it as it was an extension and not a renewal according to the CRA quidelines?

CRA Reporting of Gross Revenue (Reg BB)

08/13/2017

The CRA regulation​ states, "generally, an​ institution is to rely on the revenues that it considered in making its​ credit decision." It also states, "The regulation does not require​ institutions to request or consider revenue information when making a loan;​ however, if institutions do gather this information from their borrowers, the​ agencies expect them to collect and rely upon the borrowers' gross revenue​ for purposes of CRA." Does one of these trump the other? We use personal income for the credit​ decision and rarely use gross revenues of the business. Our auditors think​ the "credit decision" amounts outweigh using what we have in the file. If we​ only used the credit decision amounts, we wouldn't have many loans to report.

Reg E Question About Credit Card Fraud

10/25/2020

When a cardholder has a fraud alert on their card and they tell the fraud center that the transactions are NOT fraud, the fraud center reopens the card. Now the customer has roughly 10 or more charges from the same company that she just said were not fraud. Now she is claiming that they are all fraud. (including the original charges) What do we do?

Chamber of Commerce Cash & Prize Giveaway

10/25/2020

Our Chamber of Commerce is hosting a cash & prize giveaway to encourage people to shop local during the holidays. As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the bank has been asked to pass out tickets as entries to win. Each business has a limited number of tickets. Employees of the bank are not allowed to obtain any tickets from the bank, but can from other businesses participating. My question is, can we offer multiple tickets as incentives for our customers to use other services we offer? Examples would be: 1) A customer comes in to make a deposit= 1 ticket. If they sign up for online banking while here we will offer an additional ticket. 2) A non customer comes in to cash a check= 1 ticket. If they open an account with us we will offer additional tickets. 3) A customer asks about a home loan= 1 ticket. If they qualify, they can earn additional tickets. If they decide to finance with us more tickets.

How to Complete a CTR for Local Diocese

10/18/2020

A question came up during a recent audit in regards to how a CTR would be completed for a local Diocese. This particular Diocese has a few different churches using the same EIN. Our system recognizes large currency transactions that we compare to see if a CTR was completed. My question is, would a CTR be filed on that specific church when deposits of cash are over $10k, or on the Diocese?
